'''''Codia''''' is a [[genus]] of trees and shrubs in the family [[Cunoniaceae]].  The genus is  endemic to [[New Caledonia]] in the Pacific and contains 15 species.<ref name="Hopkins 2014"/> The [[leaf|leaves]] are opposite or whorled, simple, and the margin usually entire. The [[flower]]s are arranged in capitula. the ovary is inferior. The fruit is indehiscent and is covered with woolly hairs.
An extinct species of ''Codia'', ''C. australiensis'', has been found as a fossil in Australia, resembling the juvenile foliage of a living species in the genus.<ref name="Barnes 1999"/> ''Codia'' is most closely related to the Australian ''[[Callicoma serratifolia]]''.<ref name="Bradford 2001"/>
